Since the stream of news is still pretty much dry, I figured I'd throw in something I've been meaning to talk about for a while now, but really didn't dare to: KDE4's performance. Since experiences with KDE4 seem to widely differ between people, it might be a good idea if we, together, can find a common cause among those of us having problems.

I'm still using KDE 3.5 here. KDE 4 was just slower than 3. Once KDE 4 reaches the performance of 3 I plan to switch.
I understand the newer versions should offer significant performance improvements. Is this really not the case?
